So, you found a thoughtful way to ask her to stand by your side on your wedding day. This time around, show your bridesmaid how much you appreciate her help with a special gift. Consider it the ultimate survival kit for her important role — it's full of practical pieces for the big day, but also ones she'll use well after you say "I do." Ahead, check out our favorite picks that she certainly deserves.

Hair ties ($10): Not just any hair tie will do on a wedding day. Help her keep her hair back with these super stylish bands that come in pretty colors.

Perfume stick ($20): We love the roller-ball option of this Marc Jacobs signature scent because it's small enough to carry around for reapplication throughout the day.

Handkerchief ($12): Customize this pretty handkerchief that says "Thank you for being a part of our special day" with your names and wedding date. She'll need it to wipe away all those tears.

Leather pouch ($95): A stylish pouch in lovely mint green will hold all the kit's essentials plus her makeup, so she can freshen up through the night.

Flask and mirror set ($30): This sleek flask isn't the only thing she can sneak out during the day — a matching pocket-size mirror is perfect for touch-ups.
